Mapping Char Filter

Mapping Char Filter

edit

The mapping character filter accepts a map of keys and values. Whenever it encounters a string of characters that is the same as a key, it replaces them with the value associated with that key.

Matching is greedy; the longest pattern matching at a given point wins. Replacements are allowed to be the empty string.

Configuration

edit

The mapping character filter accepts the following parameters:

`mappings`	A array of mappings, with each element having the form `key => value`.
`mappings_path`	A path, either absolute or relative to the `config` directory, to a UTF-8 encoded text mappings file containing a `key => value` mapping per line.

Either the mappings or mappings_path parameter must be provided.

Example configuration

edit

In this example, we configure the mapping character filter to replace Arabic numerals with their Latin equivalents:

PUT my_index
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "my_analyzer": {
          "tokenizer": "keyword",
          "char_filter": [
            "my_char_filter"
          ]
        }
      },
      "char_filter": {
        "my_char_filter": {
          "type": "mapping",
          "mappings": [
            "٠ => 0",
            "١ => 1",
            "٢ => 2",
            "٣ => 3",
            "٤ => 4",
            "٥ => 5",
            "٦ => 6",
            "٧ => 7",
            "٨ => 8",
            "٩ => 9"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

POST my_index/_analyze
{
  "analyzer": "my_analyzer",
  "text": "My license plate is ٢٥٠١٥"
}

The above example produces the following term:

[ My license plate is 25015 ]

Keys and values can be strings with multiple characters. The following example replaces the :) and :( emoticons with a text equivalent:

PUT my_index
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "my_analyzer": {
          "tokenizer": "standard",
          "char_filter": [
            "my_char_filter"
          ]
        }
      },
      "char_filter": {
        "my_char_filter": {
          "type": "mapping",
          "mappings": [
            ":) => _happy_",
            ":( => _sad_"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

POST my_index/_analyze
{
  "analyzer": "my_analyzer",
  "text": "I'm delighted about it :("
}

The above example produces the following terms:

[ I'm, delighted, about, it, _sad_ ]
